Groundbreaking woman has planted seeds to stop growth of poverty across country
After her groundbreaking tenure ends, Sheila Gilbert hopes to devote more attention to one of the great passions of her life—working in her garden. She also plans to spend more time practicing the piano. For the past six years, both activities have been severely limited as Gilbert has served as the president of the national council of the U.S. Society of St. Vincent de Paul—the first woman ever elected to that position. During that time, the 76-year-old Gilbert has been planting seeds of a different kind, nurturing efforts to remove a plight that has devastated too many lives across the landscape of the archdiocese and the United States—poverty.

Participants in mini-marathon, 5K give witness to vocations
Benedictine Brother Peduru Fonseka knows what it means to be a minority. He grew up in Sri Lanka, an island nation off the southeastern coast of India, where Christians make up only 7 percent of the national population. So it didn’t bother him to be part of the Race for Vocations team, made up of only 300 of the more than 22,000 people who participated in either the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon or the Finish Line 500 Festival 5K, both of which occurred on May 6 in Indianapolis. The team, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, was unified in wearing blue shirts that promoted vocations and in spirit through praying for vocations during the events and in their training leading up to them.
